firefox -remote "openURL($URL,new-tab)". Mozilla and Netscape Navigator also supported this in some form - new-tab is obviously a more recent addition!
There's something called Session Saver for firefox - never used it though.

Thanks for the help. I remember now why I didn't use firefox or epiphany for this -- I couldn'tmake them stay in the background when I did this remote new-tab script. Instead, they would pop
to front each time. This was completely unusable for my use. I did spend an hour or so trying to
configure one or the other of them to do what I wanted, but couldn't figure out how to do it without
changing their source code and compiling my own version.
galeon has an option --no-raise that solves this for me.
